None, in my opinion. There's a long-standing myth that German and Slavic languages are harsh and gruff, but I don't believe it.
Ask any native speaker to read a piece of poetry he/she loves in the language- I think you'll find that there is a beauty to the language that is far different from when someone is just speaking naturally.

That is only a matter of preference and experience.
Personally, I find Arabic a bit harsh on the ears but it is still a beautiful language, even lyrical, at times.
There's a stereotype of French as being romantic but I find Italian to be more pleasant.
Japanese is prettier to me than Cantonese but neither is harsh.
German has a bad reputation with their Rs, CHs, etc.. but it's an amazingly passionate language and the harsh sounds only add to it's beauty.
I can't think of any language I would consider to sound disgusting. Some words, certainly, but for the concepts they express rather than the language they are spoken in.

It's not so much of the language, but the way the person speaks. English sounds very nice on TV, but sounds disgusting coming from some teenagers' mouths.
In general, all languages sound best on their news programs and TV ads.

you know what? I think you shouldn't be asking that question. Cuz it's kinda offending! No, really. I mean it. It's really mean though. why would you want to use the words harsh and disgusting? You could at least just say.. what languages sound odd or weird. its at least better than digusting and harsh...

Well, I can't say disgusting, but Dutch is the harshest language I've ever heard. They have this very sharp /h/, they sound like they're tearing off their throats when speaking.
